The Government is threatening to regulate the food industry to stop firms promoting unhealthy eating habits among the nation's seven million schoolchildren, the Health minister, Ben Bradshaw, warned yesterday.

However, speaking on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme, he said that at present it was up to schools whether or not they used the pack.
